An adventurous Geology Professor Lidenbrock finds a manuscript in which a 16th-century explorer says that he has found a route to the earth's center. The professor starts to investigate and with his Axel, he sets off across Iceland with Hans Bjelke, a native guide. The expedition marches toward an extinct volcano, where they come across a subterranean world of luminous rocks, antediluvian forests, and amazing marine life. The classic Journey to the CENTER of the Earth takes readers into world's geological past.
